According to the screenshot I took, it was a gargoyle berserker with an axe. I had some ridiculous luck with armor drops, so basically every resistance was either maxxed or close to it. I only really got into trouble down in Zot:5...

And hmm, I should do more with Lugonu. I never really have a reason to pick him, but that means I also don't experiment with him, so I won't really learn what reasons there are to pick the guy...

I actually do, yes. Hundreds, if not thousands, of hours played and I made it down there and back out exactly once. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I just searched that name to see if it's the guy I had in mind, too, and typoed it as "Chris Ecans". So, I guess, he's a pokemon now.

I recently figured out that wheat/gluten FUBARs my health, so even just the concept of cereal grains has recently exploded in complexity in my head.

Before, I was eating:

  • wheat (incl. durum, spelt, rye, and rarely barley, emmer)
  • oats
  • rice

Now I newly eat:

  • buckwheat
  • millet
  • quinoa (in like three different colors)
  • amaranth
  • whole-grain rice is apparently pretty cool
  • maize/corn (in the form of polenta and tortilla)

I like the cello a lot.

Only in 3D. In 2D, you slap some pixels on top and there's your scarf:

El Camino Real by Alfred Reed has a nice oboe solo.

Yeah, I once saw the Uno Reverse card of this, where some horrid, conservative Indian media outlet was saying some shit like the EU is holding some bad position. And the guy, who had posted that article, would not even engage in discussion that this was a massive point of contention, where neither France and Germany, nor me and my neighbor agreed. It just felt like shit. Don't drag me into what the assholes are doing, please.

That one happens for me, too. I like to imagine a non-techie trying to use that web version and every time it starts doing the login-logout loop, they have to contact tech support.

For me it happens about once a week. Surely, there's organizations where this keeps tech support busy all day...

I think, it's possible to find alternative materials which behave similar to plastic in certain use-cases.

But yeah, I can't see a one-for-one replacement happening. It's part of the appeal of plastic, that it does not degrade.

There's also this newfangled cutlery out of metal, which is pretty cool. You rub it with soap water and it's as good as new.

That would be cool, but human brains are weirdos. If you're already copying text, you could've edited or annotated it, for example. For example, if it's an opinion you don't entirely agree with, you might feel obliged to say so, because you have the ability to do so when it's a text post.

If you want to call that irrational, I'm not arguing against that. I'm just saying it's the reality we live in and I'd like to have tooling to deal with that better, because I would also prefer text to not be screenshotted.
